While X (formerly known as Twitter) has seen many changes under the management of Elon Musk, one of the latest moves has caused significant reactions among users.
Changes to the platform’s “blocking” feature seem to have accelerated the migration towards alternative social media platforms. Bluesky, one of the new social media platforms, reported that it gained 500,000 new users in just a few days after Musk’s new announcement.
Sudden User Increase on Bluesky
Bluesky is a decentralized social media platform developed as a rival to Twitter and born with the initiative of Jack Dorsey. However, after leaving the project, Dorsey harshly criticized Bluesky and argued that the platform was repeating Twitter’s old mistakes.
However, recent blocking changes in X have rapidly expanded Bluesky’s user base. The platform, which initially announced that it gained 100,000 new users, announced that this number reached 500,000 in a short time. It was reported that the servers crashed for a short time due to high demand. But it’s unclear how permanent this influx into Bluesky will be, given that such mass migrations haven’t been permanent in the past, and users keep returning to Twitter.
Changes to X’s Blocking Feature
The blocking feature allowed X users to block offensive content and accounts. However, with the new update, access to the public content of blocked profiles will continue to be provided, only their direct interactions will be limited. Now blocked profiles will not be able to send you messages or like your posts; However, it will be possible to watch the contents through a private browser tab.
It was known that Musk was considering removing the blocking feature in 2023. At that time, Musk announced that he found this function unnecessary and stated that more logical alternatives should be found. However, due to the reactions, this plan was not implemented, only the way the blocking feature worked was changed.
User Reactions and Tendency towards Alternatives
The increasing interest in Bluesky once again reveals the dissatisfaction of X users with Musk’s decisions. However, as in similar events, it will become clear in the coming weeks whether users will leave the platform permanently.
This move by X has caused users to look for more options on how to manage their social media experiences. However, the X team stands behind the changes and states that they have adopted a more open platform vision.

Meta plans to launch Instagram Reels as an independent application.
The company said that Tiktok wants to take advantage of the opportunity due to the uncertainty of the future in the United States. According to The Information, Instagram boss Adam Mosser mentioned the possibility of a separate reals application within the company. If the report is correct, the new application will mimic Tiktok’s slide video experience and aim to offer better video suggestions.
Meta is trying to attract Tiktok users by promoting long -formatic reals content and offering special financial incentives to content producers. Considering that the use of reals in markets such as India, where Tiktok is banned, it aims to have a similar growth in a possible Tiktok ban in the US.
Meta focused on developing independent applications for different usage scenarios in case. Previously separating Messenger from Facebook and making Threads as a Twitter/X competitor, the company has recently released a video editing application called Edits. The presence of Reels as an independent application can provide more video editing tools and content -forming support.
However, the independent practices that Meta initiated as a competitor to Tiktok in the past has not always been successful. Lasso, which was released in 2018, was closed because he could not attract the user’s attention. Now it is a matter of curiosity whether Reels will be successful as an independent practice.
